The Cock & Bottle in York

It's nice enough pub, they had football on if that's your thing. £5 for a corona was a little steep

Owners a knob. Says dog friendly but depends on breed!!! Rude and arrogant

An old traditional pub, quiet great service and friendly bar saff especially the manager highly recommend a visit, will be back in the future

Went holliday to York few yrs ago now had a lovely time in this pub. Quite quant nice little place to chill from bussy york town centre . 👍

Had a great time until I wanted a refill of my beer to come back in five minutes because he was watching something on tv.

Very friendly bar staff and locals very welcome can't rate food as did not eat there

Friendly, good atmosphere, made to feel welcome.

They just put on food for my uncle's funeral they were very friendly and made us all feel welcome.

They keep Wadsworth 6x on and in good condition which was awesome. OK, a few years later, waiting on 6X to return, and left a bottle of whiskey at the end of the night in Good Friday someone kept. That wasn't nice.

One of the great examples of York's beautiful old pubs

Pork pies! Pint and a pie we came home with takeaway pies. Great traditional no faff pub. Friendly staff, away from the crowds of the centre. Will be back thanks

Lovely pub staff and beer didn't have any food

Absolutely fab pub! So long as it's not flooded haha... right next to the Ouse. 3 min walk from the city centre. Worth it.

Cracking traditional pub...great for live sport...greeting and service with a smile...best of all Pint of Theakston for less than £4!!!!!

Lovely little pub, great staff made us feel very welcome (ruth and another lovely lady) great prices will definitely be back when in york again😁

Great little pub hidden away in York. Sheltered from the cold after the ice trail here and got a warm welcome for the rugby. Lovely and dog friendly (we even got treats from the bar!). Thank you!

Smells unclean and a bit different.

Good old fashioned pub, good and friendly service, enjoyed a much needed warm mulled wine 🍷

A great pub friendly staff and customers. Had a fantastic night dancing to the brilliant DJ last night. Only here for the weekend but we feel like it's our new local.

Nice Place cosy fire Place and Staff pleasant.Drinks not over priced.

Great traditional pub with a warm welcome, recommended

Its a boozer that serves good food and is dog friendly. We popped in for a quick bit of dinner on the way home from town, we sat in the bar area while the rugby was on, the staff were friendly and the food was really really tasty and great portions.

Super pub for a drink, friendly staff great atmosphere

What a lovely place. Such a friendly welcome to us and the dog.

Cracking pub! Rugby in the telly, roped into a quiz and the friendliest locals and staff! Ideal pub!

No food just drinks but this is a small corner bar to sit in the afternoon and watch sports with everyone. It hosts trivia nights and opens until pretty late everyday.

Nice place, great staff and nice location.

This place calls itself a ‘Sports Bar but when we went to watch the semi-final of the Women’s World Cup Football, it was closed. Shame on you!

Very welcoming. Great bar staff

Bit soulless and not the place I remember from years ago. Strong smell of cleaning / bleach products

very friendly staff, plenty of different types of sports on the TV, customers chatted between themselves

Smashing little pub. Lovely staff. We felt very welcome and they have a couple of great local beers.

Great local pub. Regulars are talkative. Bar tenders (one at a time!) keep up with the throngs of customers...AND...they were super nice sharing local details and tidbits to this American tourist. Thanks for the tip on going to York Racecourse for MacMillan day (and saying hi at the Clockhouse field!).

The Cock and Bottle is a great little pub just out of the centre of York. It is a very cosy and compact pub. The barman was very friendly and service was reasonably quick. They had a few real ales on draught which were all very tasty and good value for money. A nice pub to visit if you are on Skeldergate.

Great alittle local pub ideal for viewing sporting events

Very welcoming and the beer was cold. Nice friendly atmosphere. The barman was very hospitable. We would like to have been there for the Sunday Quiz but unfortunately we had to leave York on the Saturday.

nice pub played a few board games with the kids friendly staff

Visited 6/23 with a group of friends whilst on holiday. A proper pub with a good range of beers. We were there on the evening of the Champions League final and there was a great atmosphere. Returned the following night too! Can't comment on food - don't even know if they do it!

Really friendly staff, good sports coverage and Theakstones on tap.

Pint of beer, £4.40, no wonder the place was nearly empty !!

Spent a few hours here on a Saturday night , quiet at first then became popular and noisy due to TV showing Eurovision Contest. Good beer

Nice place for a drink and watch football 17/05/2023

Top pub. Good beers. Lovely atmosphere.

We stood at the bar for roughly 10 minutes without being served. The pub was very empty with just a handful of people, so being left this long without being served is unacceptable. We ended up just turned around and leaving. It feels like a pub for the locals, and if you are not local you are not welcome. Will not be returning!

Good pub to watch football. Selection of ales is decent.

Lovely old fashioned pub in the best sense. Nice service. Good prices, fun pub quiz on Sundays. One star deducted for the nasty toilets.

Nice atmosphere, very poor bar staff, Disgusting Toilets. Shame......

Nice little pub quiet and local little spot!

Ww were in York for a short stay, hotel just down the road from this pub, recommended by locals. Went in on pub quiz night, we were quickly invited to join and had a giggle all evening trying to answer the questions. Roger the quiz master was very welcoming and the bar staff and drinks were great.

Always been a favourite of mine for a quiet pint. Friendly staff and patrons

Lovely pub with very friendly staff 👍🏻

Well first time in this pub .the lady behind the bar very friendly went the extra mile.a local rushed got me a seat near the open log burner .wow.sat there for hours tv on horse racing .great day , I highly recommend this bar .

Cosy and very friendly. We went in a couple of times. Really enjoyed it

Small and out of the way, prices high and food extremely limited, basically a pork pie and take it or leave it.

Loved it,great little bar,5 mins from the hustle of the main town centre and got served very quick. Drinks prices also cheap compared to other bars we visited

Blokes pub. Good beer and live sport on TV. Ladies toilets are in dire need of attention!

Friendly pub tucked away near the city centre. Nice cosy pub, very friendly. Dogs welcome. Good beer selection. Near the campsite we stayed at and close to the river.

Pub was friendly with a nice relaxed vibe

Very friendly and conformable atmosphere

Good pub. Small and old school.

Nice friendly pub to watch the sport. Normally a couple of real ales on too.

A Gem for live sport and welcoming staff🤗, with a good selection of ales..

Great little pub just outside the centre. Worth a visit.

Really nice pub. Visited one wensday night, it was busy due to the football being on but definitely worth the vist as it was on a website of recommend pubs to vist in york.

I came to York for a getaway weekend, used to live in York for over a year and passed by this pub so many times, but didn't visit for the first time until after moving away lol. It was a pleasure to meet Ruth, Phil and John, they were so nice and so lovely to chat with, will definitely be back here next time I’m in York : )

Nice little pub. Shame that many of the questions in the Sunday night quiz are too difficult.

When you want to breath and have a break from the bustle in the city centre, this is the place. It was also welcome to keep an eye on the cricket and F1 at the same time. None of the pubs in the centre had such an array of sport to watch. Just because you are a tourist, doesn’t mean you don’t want to feel like a local and tune into the commentary in the pub, as opposed to on the tele.

-Funky -Cosy -Vegan wines available -Booth seating -Nice background music -Good service

Lovely little quiet pub with nice outdoor seating

Lovely pub just out the way. Nice seating outside & friendly people inside & sports tv

Lovely, friendly pub. Great beer.

We stopped in here for a few pints and to watch football. Beer tasted like the pipe like the managers attitude, BAD!! If you aren’t a local, you’re not welcome in this place. I live in York, but will Definitely will not go back. Do yourself a favour and walk round the corner to The Golden Ball where the staff are friendly and beers are great beers.

very pleasant pub barmaid lovely felt really welcome. Thankyou.

Lovely little pub so friendly staff would recommend

Great friendly pub, dog friendly

stopped a couple of times for a pint when visiting as staying close by. decent pint, friendly staff and a couple of outdoor seats

really nice atmosphere, great selection of Gins and spirits for such a small bar

Lovely staff and nice outdoor seating that gets the sun and has a view of the river from the front

Was there at weekend to see FA Cup final, good atmosphere, bit of a locals pub, but staff were friendly enough. Not what I was expecting but all was good. Don’t think they do food though but beer was ok.

Sat outside on a lovely day, hadn't got any darker beers which I prefer. Nonetheless a nice friendly pub.

Went this ‘pub’ had a John smiths which didn’t taste right so complained and was told everyone one else who had said it was ok. The beer tasted like the pipes hadn’t been flushed properly. Was told there is nothing they can do. Didn’t drink it and will never return

Lovely place we'll worth a visit

Staying across the road in an apartment - we had to visit this pub. Best glass of white wine of the week in York - lovely and cold and crisp. It was very early evening so wasn't busy - so many pubs so little time, so we didn't get change to visit again uonfortunately.

Proper good pub lovely free buffet with grand national had a brill afternoon

A warm welcome. Good beer. Need I say more

On a freezing cold night my twin brother Stephen and I decided to drop into The Cock & Bottle Pub ,a pub we always look forward to visiting on any trip to York we take. I love the look of this pub ,it's interior is superb exposed brickwork ,a cool looking serving bar, pubby decor and furnishings,tv's and big screens to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, befitting an historic pub of this nature there are quite a few resident ghosts including possibly George Villiers ,2nd Duke Of Buckingham,it's just a great pub to unwind in. We were greeted warmly by a very pleasant member of the bar team,we had a study of their real ale's and we both opted to have Rudgate Brewery pale ale,these were served in excellent condition,we just kicked back and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub. My pale ale was so good,a crisp,well balanced ale,hints of caramel with essence of citrus giving a slight bitter finish to it which we both enjoy,it was just so good being in such a great pub enjoying a quality real ale. We really enjoyed our pale ale's in The Cock & Bottle Pub before we moved on and as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The Cock & Bottle Pub is easy to locate along Skeldergate . Opening hours are; Monday to Thursday,4pm till 11pm. Friday to Sunday,midday till 11pm. A great pub ,well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great atmosphere in a rustic pub, great landlord, nothing is too much trouble for him. Watched Cheltenham races in there would go again.

Was only in for a quick beer si no comments otherwise. Service seemed fine.

The Cock&Bottle on Skeldergate is a really good pub along the river Ouse and a good pub to watch live sport. A large single-roomed pub with nice decor and furnishing's and throughout the whole interior superb seating options and lots of TV screens. There is a little bit more to this superb pub as is its renowned as a really haunted pub and one of the resident ghosts may be the 2nd Duke of Buckingham'George Villiers.A superb pub and one we have visited lots of times over the years. We where on our way to the Wetherspoons pub by our hotel and went in here for a few beers.It was rather busy when we went into here as they were showing a football game and there was a great atmosphere. When here we had a Rudgate brewery ale each which were fantastic and well priced especially for this part of York.This is a very good pub and well worth visiting and really easy to find from Micklegate bus stop its a short walk. (This is my first review of the Cock&Bottle). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-16.00-23.00. Friday-15.00-23.30. Saturday-Sunday-12.00-23.00. Nearest Bus Stop. Micklegate bus stop.

Good pint in historic pub but too cold! Get them fires on!!!

Good beer, excellent sports on TV. Couldn't win a bet, but not sure that's the landlord's fault! Good visit pre or post York Races

We spotted this place from across the river and the name tickled us. So we thought we would stop for a pint. The service from the bar was good. There was rugby on the television when we arrived. the place got busier and busier so...

Nice local pub, if I visit York again I will definitely use again...

Great friendly pub good atmosphere and they love Rugby

A nice, slightly-hidden away town centre boozer where u can hide from a large chunk of the day-trippers who don't know York. Have been going to this place since the 80s on and off and never disappoints when it comes to a quieter pint while watching the extensive choice of sport on the screens. Good Guiness and Madrid lager.

Lovely pub,clean and cheerful staff.And not far from the Queens Hotel.Will call in again when in York.

Loved this little pub, tucked away down Skeldergate. Not too busy or loud so we could have a conversation and to top it off the real ale was fantastic.

Good outlet, very near junction 28 M1 and very convenient. Great selection of retailers, sensible prices and loads of parking.

Basic pub good real ales friendly staff.

The landlord and staff are very friendly
